Does anyone have a solution for uninstalling the latest version of Inquisitor for Safari?

All my searches either mention that it's hiding in a folder that I don't seem to have, or that the installer includes an 'uninstall' option which I can't for the life of me find, it just insists on reinstalling itself over and over. :confused:

Any help would be much appreciated. :)
 
Aaah that's the mistake I was making. Didn't realise it had to be from root, I was trying to find it in the Library for my User account :eek:

Thanks for clarifying. :)

It used to be in the users library folder but as of 10.5 it won't work in that folder anymore. ;)
 
Here are some more detailed uninstall instructions for Inquisitor.
The files you need to trash to get rid of Inquisitor completely are the following:

Inquisitor.bundle (in Library/InputManagers/Inquisitor/)
Inquisitor folder (in "user=you"/Library/Application Support/)
inquisitor.pkg (in Library/Receipts/)
inquisitorPreflight.pkg (also in Library/Receipts/)
inquisitor folder (in Library/InputManagers/)

Thank You for the detailed locations in deleting Inquisitor.
I tried it and decided to uninstall it. You made it easy to find
it and delete it. Thanks
 
Thank you, byakuya, for that help. I, too, tried Inquisitor and hated it. I'm glad to have Google back.

Did you look in /Library/InputMangers? It's not in ~/Library.

Not sure I understand why since one of the selectable options for Inquisitor is to use the Google search engine! :p

Safari -> Preferences -> Search -> Inquisitor -> Search Engine:
